5 Types of French Manicures
French Manicures don't just come in one classic form; there are actually dozens of types of French Manicures. Although all French Manicures are the same essential design, the smallest alteration can be done to make a whole new style. If you're going to a day spa to get a spa treatment, consider also getting a massage and trying a new nail look.
1. Non-Traditional Colors
Get a massage and your nails done in typical gel polish, but consider choosing unique colors. For example, match your color palette to a theme such as choosing nail polish colors for spring.
2. Painted Details
Whether getting an air rushed pattern over a classic manicure or having a nail technician freehand designs over the finished product, your gel manicure can be easily adapted to something unique. A shellac manicure guarantees a loner lasting design.
3. Glitter and Sequins
While at a spa treatment, add shine to your gel polish nails by having a coat of glitter, glitter painted on in stripes or other patterns, or even by adding sequins to the design.
4. Stamped Designs
A very easy way to add variety to a French Manicure is to add stamped designs to nails during your day spa treatment. A top coat over this stamped design will protect it from chipping, as will having a shellac manicure base.
5. Upside Down Look
Rather than paint a classic French Manicure, have one done upside-down at your day spa. Instead of a white tip on your gel manicure, the white edge will be at the bottom of the nail and the pink will run to the ends. Combine this with another twist, such as
nail polish colors for spring, and find endless possibilities for new nail looks.
